How to reproduce: 1. On non-KDE machine (having xfce4), build/install ark with all options "on". 2. Try to open a "rar" archive. 3. Observe the message (see the subject) Additionally, please consider enabling ZIP and RAR options by default. Ark can be used as an archive opening helper. There are a lot of .zip and .rar archives online, and this makes it a hassle to manually rebuild ark after every system update. ark-18.08.1
Hi Yuri Can you verify whether /usr/local/lib/qt5/plugins/arkpart.so is present and installed by ark? Whats the content of the following vars: * $QT_PLUGIN_PATH * $XDG_DATA_DIRS * $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS [we set them in startkde]. mfg Tobias
Hi Tobias, Yes, this file is installed: > $ pkg which /usr/local/lib/qt5/plugins/arkpart.so > /usr/local/lib/qt5/plugins/arkpart.so was installed by package ark-18.08.1 Variables: > [x@x ~]$ echo $QT_PLUGIN_PATH > > [x@x ~]$ echo $XDG_DATA_DIRS > /usr/local/share:/usr/share > [x@x ~]$ echo $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS > /etc/xdg:/usr/local/etc/xdg Yuri
(In reply to Yuri Victorovich from comment #2) Can you try with QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/plugins:/usr/local/lib/qt5/plugins -- I'm not very optimistic it will help, but worth a try :)
QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib/plugins:/usr/local/lib/qt5/plugins didn't help.
Created the upstream bug report.
(In reply to Yuri Victorovich from comment #5) @yuri is this still an issue? mfg Tobias
Can't reproduce in twm with kf5 installed from official packages, and ark compiled locally (to check that the options are correct -- right now, RAR and 7ZIP are default). Closing as "can't reproduce, response timeout".
I can't reproduce it now either any more.
